If gay couples can literally force bakeries to bake them cakes then were does our civil liberties lay? - these are questions I have pondered now for quite some time. Especially Prop8 which was democracy.... It's not the issues I'm concerned about it's the lack of respect for our Bill of Rights or even domestic/state ideas in which the government actually believes they can legislate your life away - if they go through the right channels.

I really just want to see the Constitution upheld and not abused and abused by the state or the federal government.

Here we go. It's OK to say "no gays," but not OK to say "no guns." Why is that?

Of course if you're Muslim tho.....

There is a difference between discirminating against people (such as refusing service because they are black) and discriminating against an OBJECT (like refusing guns on property).

Re: Should Target take action to keep rifles out of their stores?

which means you can protest outside any government owned building in your barefeet that you want to and they can do little about it.

a private company on the other hand is under no such restriction. just like this messageboard. they can lock and censor any post/thread they want to and there is no consitutional violation.

a private company has the right to restrict guns in their store.
target doesn't sell guns as far as i know. i have yet to be in a targets that sells sporting goods, and if they do it is a very small aisle with little on it.

if you want something like that go to walmart they have everything in there or another sports store.

And I agree. A private business can restrict guns if they wish.

The barefoot question was more rhetorical to those who think that you should be able to take guns anywhere without restriction, but other rights get thrown under the bus.
